What is the acceleration due to gravity 'g' on the moon, if g is 10-2 on the earth?

A.

0. 10 ms-2

B.

0.74ms-2

C.

1.6ms-2

D.

10.00ms-2

Correct answer is C

s = 10-2 on earth

g = 6 ms-2 on earth

Earth on moon = \(\frac{10}{6}\)

= 1.6ms-2

When a ball rolls on a smooth level ground, the motion of its center is

A.

translational

B.

oscillatory

C.

random

D.

rotational

Correct answer is A

A ball rolling along a smooth surface observes translational motion at the center while the rest of the body rotates round the center.

The length of a displaced pendulum ball which passes its lowest point twice every seconds is [g = 10ms-2]

A.

0.25 m

B.

0.45 m

C.

0.58 m

D.

1.00 m

Correct answer is A

T = 2\(\pi\) \(\sqrt\frac{L}{g}\)
1 = 2 x 3.142\(\sqrt\frac{L}{10}\)
(since the pendulum pass its lowest point twice in a second, hence the frequency is 1 and period T= \(\frac{1}{F}\))
L= 0.25m
